Saban Returns to The University of Alabama Football Team with New Spurs

January 16, 2016

Saban Returns to The University of Alabama Football Team with New Spurs What did Saban do the Next 24 Hours After the 24-Hour Celebration with The University of Alabama Football Team?   Fresh from the Gatorade bath in Phoenix, Arizona where he coached The University of Alabama football team to its sixteenth national championship, Nick Saban gave compliments to his opponent, high praise for his players and appeared to experience genuine joy for their victory.  With metallic gold streamers falling around his team and a beaming Heisman Trophy winner, Derrick Henry, lovingly giving his coach a rub on the shoulders,

Alabama vs Clemson 2016 Predicted to Battle Through the Fourth Quarter

Alabama vs Clemson 2016 Predicted to Battle Through the Fourth Quarter

January 10, 2016

Alabama vs Clemson 2016 Predicted to Battle Through the Fourth Quarter It’s crazily unpredictable when Alabama will lose a football game.  Did you hear, Ole Miss did it, not once, but two years in a row.  Ohio State did it too in the College Football Playoff last year.  Nick Saban losing a football game is not as indecipherable an event as Big Foot walking up to your campfire, but it’s rare, only twelve in eight seasons.  While Clemson players whine about the Alabama brand, the fact remains, the Tide normally rolls over its opponents in National Championship challenges.  How could

Costly Lessons Fuel Alabama Playoff Chances

Costly Lessons Fuel Alabama Playoff Chances

December 8, 2015

Alabama Playoff Chances Fueled by Costly Lessons Alabama Playoff Chances to win and advance to the National Championship are higher this year than they were last year.  Why?  Last year Alabama answered the ESPN Playoff show tagline, “Are you in?” with a convincing 12 – 1 season and SEC Championship, but got beat by the Buckeyes, 42 – 35, in the inaugural College Football Playoff Semifinal.  This year with the same record, Alabama would face Clemson, Oklahoma or Michigan State and much to the chagrin of Mark Dantonio, the twelve-member CFB Playoff gang, in year two, condemned Sparty to face the

Three Ghosts Lobby Gus Malzahn Photo Auburn Football Coach Gus Malzahn and Alabama Coach Nick Saban, Iron Bowl, by AP Butch Dill November 28, 2015. With slumped shoulders and a baffled expression on his face, Auburn football coach Gus Malzahn walked out of Jordan-Hare after losing to Alabama 29 – 13, his second Iron Bowl loss in two years, got in his truck and drove straight to the Waffle House.  Alabama beat Auburn, cinched the SEC West and probably won a Heisman, all in his stadium that night.  Sitting in his truck Gus reminisced about the good times when he and

Alabama vs Auburn 2015 Puny Offense Guarantees Defensively Dominant Contest

Alabama vs Auburn 2015 Puny Offense Guarantees Defensively Dominant Contest

November 22, 2015

Alabama vs Auburn 2015 Puny Offense Guarantees Defensively Dominant Contest If you loved the shooting match in Bryant-Denny last year where both teams threw the ball nearly twice as many yards as they ran it and scored more points than any Iron Bowl in history, you may want to consider a day at the mall for holiday sales instead of tuning in to Alabama vs Auburn 2015.  If you think the nation’s fourth ranked defense will run roughshod on an Auburn offense that has taken several steps backwards over last season and this one, with no-named quarterback, a star wide

Auburn Videoboard Crew Monumental Iron Bowl 2015 Duty

November 15, 2015

Auburn Videoboard Crew Monumental Iron Bowl 2015 Duty Still not bowl eligible after ten games of the season, the Auburn football team hosts Nick Saban’s most balanced Tide team for Iron Bowl 2015.  And while most analysts believe it’s not a matter of if the CFB Playoff bound Bama will win, but how badly Alabama shames the Plains, there’s an even bigger question. How long can the 40 men and women on the Jumbo Videoboard Committee entertain the fans before the Alabama football team clears the stands at Jordan-Hare Stadium? Will Tiger fans stick around and cheer while they watch

Alabama Waltzes into Jordan-Hare Stadium for Iron Bowl 2015

Alabama Waltzes into Jordan-Hare Stadium for Iron Bowl 2015

November 12, 2015

Iron Bowl 2015 Alabama Waltzes into Jordan-Hare Stadium Small feet shuffling on the floor following the lead of the larger parent’s feet or sometimes grandparent’s, spoken out loud, “1, 2, 3, Step, Step, Feet Together; 4, 5, 6, Step, Step, Feet Together,” children are taught the box step to a waltz rhythm.  As two teams prepare and fans anticipate Iron Bowl 2015, the past seven Iron Bowls waltzed through each November in a rhythm of wins and losses that resembles the basic dance step, 1, 2, 3, Alabama, Alabama, Auburn. 4, 5, 6, Alabama, Alabama, Auburn. 1, 2, 3… In

Retooled Gus Bus Cruises into November Undefeated Destination Iron Bowl 2015

Retooled Gus Bus Cruises into November Undefeated Destination Iron Bowl 2015

November 8, 2015

Retooled Gus Bus Cruises into November Undefeated Destination: Iron Bowl 2015 If the overblown hype in Hoover pumping off the pens and microphones at SEC Media Days were true, Auburn would be undefeated, Jeremy Johnson Heisman trophy frontrunner, and a Gus Bus cruising toward Iron Bowl 2015.  But that’s not exactly what happened.  The tires on the Gus Bus were punctured with an overtime win over a paid-to-play JSU, the engine overheated in 100 degree loss in Baton Rouge and the offense blew a belt in a home field loss to Mississippi State.  With a quadruple overtime loss to Arkansas,

Alabama vs LSU 2015 Absolute Qualifier College football fans outside of the SEC finally recovered from the nausea brought on by “The Game of the Century” between Alabama and LSU “Parts I and II,” in 2011.  This year Condoleeza Rice, Jeff Long and the College Football Playoff Selection Committee delivered the first CFB Playoff rankings of the season and just when you thought the SEC was dead and buried, the Fab Twelve put LSU and Alabama back in the top four.  Alabama vs LSU 2015 game is now a playoff semifinal and to make it super sickening Les Miles and Nick
